@OP:IF YOU BUY A P67 BOARD,YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY A DISCRETE GPU BECAUSE P67 DOES NOT SUPPORT ONBOARD GRAPHICS AND U WILL BE UNABLE TO CONNECT UR MONITOR TO YOUR PC.

if OP is planning to buy discrete gpu soon then it's ok otherwise only k proccys of i5 and i7 series i.e. i5 2500k and i7 2600k have Intel HD Graphis 3000 which is superior than 2000 version..other i3, i5 and i7 proccys have 2000 version as we all know..

[Piyush]

1.it will fit easily

2.PSU is super class

3.Gskill Ripjaws 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz 4GB X 2

4.Dell ST2220L seems good to me
wait for others to suggest

 

[sparx]

1.Yes
2.Yes

(aaaargh piyush beat me)

4.You don't necessarily need HDMI for HD movies, DVI and HDMI both being digital has similar picture quality, but if you are getting audio out from the monitor then HDMI comes to the scene, otherwise DVI is enough. Dell ST2220L is great it has HDMI option too, if you are happy with 22inch its the choice for you.

i have router in hall and Lappy now in bedroom. Dont want to get into wiring hassels now.

 

[ankit0_0]

if u will be using gtx 560 ti then a 550w power supply will be sufficient like corsair vx550 which will cost u 4.6k
i dont know how is the brand seasonic but i would recommend u to buy corsair tx650 v2 which costs 5.5k instead of seasonic S12II 620
and instead of buying NZXT gamma go for cooler master elite 430
for motherboard dont buy Asus P8H67 M LE as it doesnt have USB 3.0 instead go for a Asus P8H67 M PRO rather than buying Asus P8H67 M EVO

SeaSonic = Best PSU brand out there. Did you know most of the Corsair's PSUs are made by SeaSonic??
SeaSonic S12II 620 @5.4k is excellent.

However, Corsair VX450 @3.5k will be enough for his system.

plz answer my 1 2 3 4 question posted.

 

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

1. Will motherboard i choose from above will fit into the cabinet properly ?

--> Yes.

2. is PSU ok considering that i am buying a gfx card in next 1-2 months ?

--> Get Corsair VX450 @3.5k. If you feel insecure, get SeaSonic SII 520 @4.1k.

3. Give online link to purchase RAM. I need 8GB RAM. Make sure RAM is compatible with mobo from above list.

--> G.Skill Sandy Bridge 2x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz @5.3k. Do you really need 8GB???

4. Which monitor i should purchase ? i need HDMI + gr8 screen for HD movies.

--> Dell ST2220L will be okay I think. Better get others' views on it.

 

[ankit0_0]

@ gaurav h67 MOBO does not support 1600 MHz the max it supports is 1333 MHz

theres no problem about seasonic
if he can get hi hands on that PSU (II 520)...he's lucky then

actually seasonic is the OEM of corsair's PSU (most of the models)
so you can expect
